Sweet psalmist of Israel

… and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said. (2 Samuel 23:1).

Why does the Bible call David the sweet psalmist of Israel?

He wrote the sweetest poems and songs ever written. He wrote of God's sweet presence, of His Word sweeter than honey, of His sweet mercy.

Every Christian who longs for God's presence, loves God's Word, delights in the treasures of God's Word, loves and reads the writings of the sweet psalmist of Israel. I am really surprised that some Christians ignore the book of Psalms or hardly ever read it.

I am grateful for the writings of the sweet psalmist, for the sweet mercy, the sweet Word, the sweet presence of God described in them.
